[Bug 9870] Re: Better spam filtering for evolution

All this training, spam, ham, blah blah - I've got to ask, why we don't
just find a tool which uses RBL's and be done with the whole thing?

In windows I use something called spampal which has a bunch of
functionality but I use it basically as a turnkey method of accessing
RBL's - virtually no spam gets through and I don't need to train
anything.

Spamassassin is meant to be able to use RBL's but its not at all
obvious/or its borked on how to make it work effectively.

Using RBL's does rely (obviously) upon having a internet connection
whilst obtaining your new mail, so I can see some corner cases where it
wouldn't work for people, but why not set up spam assassin by default to
use RBL's and -also- use a trained filter if thats whats required to
capture those corner cases?
